The Texas school’s baseball team was scheduled to participate in a regional playoff game against Kingwood Park High School on Friday night, but in the wake of the tragedy, rescheduled it to the next day.

Despite the trauma the community and students are undoubtedly grappling with, the team refused to cancel or postpone the much-anticipated game any longer.

“This is what it’s supposed to be about,” Sheri Shubert, mother of the team’s pitcher Rome Shubert, told TODAY's Gabe Gutierrez. “This is about humanity and loving one another.”

Rome, 16, was shot in the back of the head, with the bullet exiting right underneath his ear. He survived.

"The doctor said that if it would have been any up, any down, any left, any right — that I would have been paralyzed or killed,” he said while wearing a large bandage on his neck that covered the bullet wound. “I’m probably the luckiest guy right now.”

I’m so greatful and blessed that god spared me life today. Today I was shot in the back of the head but i am completely okay and stable.

Despite being injured, Rome joined his teammates at the game, which honored those who were killed. Joining Rome was another team member, catcher Trenton Beazley, who is also recovering from a bullet wound.

People in the bleachers held up signs that read “Santa Fe Strong,” and held a moment of silence for the victims, which include 17-year-old football player Chris Stone, Pakistani exchange student Sabika Sheik and substitute teacher Cynthia Tisdale.
